Summary

Sam’s words, the mark that informs him of his soulmatch, are embarrassingly public, and since Riley’s gone it’s only a painful reminder of what he’s lost. When he meets Steve they're both distracted, and there's no chance to understand what is happening between them.

In which Stiles goes along with one of Derek’s plans and ends up in an alternate universe as a result. He should’ve known better. He did know better, actually, and that means he has no one to blame but himself.

“Laura wants to lure the kid in with food and kindness and make a pet of him, like a feral cat. Derek wants to have him arrested for stalking. They’re at an impasse. (And the rest of the family is staying emphatically out of it in a way that suggests bets have been placed.)”

Summary

Phil Coulson’s life has never lacked challenges. The war with the Red Court and the Fomers may have ended, but instead of retiring as a Warden of the White Council and settling down, maybe digging out his mother’s old spellbooks, he’s decided to join Nick on his fool’s quest idea to found a new order called S.H.I.E.L.D.

Too bad he stopped to chase down a jewelry store thief, then, because Clint Barton is more than just a vanilla human caught on the wrong side of the law. He’s a young man living on the street, and he comes with a slew of difficult problems he doesn’t want Phil to solve. Phil doesn’t know what’s going on, but he knows that, no matter what, his life is never going to be the same...
